Janet Edgette, Psy.D.

Clinical Psychologist

I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.

Retreat at Palm Beach

Outpatient Substance Abuse & Co-Occurring Counseling

Youth Connection is an intensive program for those individuals who suffer from addiction, but are also faced with the challenges of young adulthood.
Teenagers and young adults, 18 – 25 years of age, who suffer from drug or alcohol addiction often find themselves dealing with additional pressures. They may have trouble with their workload at school, associate with delinquent peers, suffer from a lack parental supervision, or just generally exhibit feelings of inadequacy, poor self-image, or even depression. They have not learned the necessary skills that would otherwise enable them to cope with everyday life situations.

Katey Moody, BSc., MBACP(Accred)

Clinical Psychotherapist

I specialise in working woth older adolescents. High school teens feel such pressure on them and find the choices they need to make, leave them feeling very overwhelmed and sometimes depressed. I help them find ways of coping that are appropriate for their world. I work with them on developing life skills that will enable them to feel more in control in their world. A relationship with an adult that is not their parent is so beneficial for them. They feel very heard by me and are able to explore any number of issues that they feel unable to with their parents.
